R.E.D. modpack

[Nutty]

Besides the ancient units, is there any plans for the middle age (Medeval & Ren) units? They always felt a bit lacking.

Ask Danrell.

Ask Danrell.

No, yeah, thats my bad. Since my last post, I took another look at Danrell's thread. He does in fact have several units involved, from Ancient-Industrial. I think the gaps are being filled quite nicely. I like the knights and civ unit packs in particular (Rome/Italy, Japan for xmpl).

- replace generics infantry, paratrooper, destroyer, battleship, submarines and aircraft carrier by danrell's WWII models to keep coherence in graphical style

Also, Danrell made a heck of a lot of units, often three or more in each category. I was wondering which you ones you were using for RED (Besides the already-mentioned ones on that recent post) ? Or, at least, could I get a copy of the new 'newunits' file to see for myself?

 

[Gedemon]

the newunits.xls is in the "\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\R.E.D. Modpack (v 14)" folder, but the first tab is not updated with the last batch of units

Does 14 "affect savegame" so that if I was to use it and the 15 was released I would need to finish my game first with 14 before upgrading..?

Thanks for your hard work and of course to Danrell for the unit creation

No, I meant, would it be possible to get the new .xls WITHOUT the mod? Since I still need to finish my current game, and like you said, bringing in another version would most likely ruin it.

yes, but I hope that's won't be needed after v.15

ho, ok.

As it wasn't updated with v.14, the .xls in v.14/13/12 is the same, you can refer to it for all units up to v.12 and to the version history in first post for the units from v.14 I've not written in it yet...

Got it, well, thnx anyways. Been using v.13 so far, and its worked out pretty good. Theres a couple of bugs I'm living with, but I think they're VEM/CiVUP related anyways.

 

[Jonarus_Drakus]

Okay... This is just annoying... With v.14 I can't even START a game any more... I hit start, it goes to the leader/civ 'intro' screen and then crashes...

I've re-verified game files, I've re-installed the mod, I've tried playing with different factions with less AIs on smaller maps... If anything it makes the game crash even quicker!

I don't get how the previous errors weren't carried over in the save I made available... My card drivers are up to date 'full version' drivers... I'm almost to the point of tearing hair out here... SOMEBODY has to be able to help...

Cant wait to play with these mods Gedemon. Your mods make the game extremely more playable.

Question... when can we see ethnic changes for Maya and Ethiopia? These are two civs that really need a cosmetic change for historical accuracy.

Thanks!

Would appreciate a link to v.13. Made the mistake of using the ingame update button, lost access to the saves I was playing.

 

[Jonarus_Drakus]

Updating to v.15 hasn't helped... The mod is still UTTERLY broken for me... I have tested R.E.D. alone, no other mods, no other DLC, no content at all aside from it and the 'base' game, and it still crashes whenever I try to start a R.E.D. modded game (during 'intro' screen now - as stated in my last post). I can play all other mods and DLC just fine, on any size map with any number if Civs, so its definitely R.E.D. that is causing the crashes...

Unfortunately, with the worsening of the issue, I can't even provide a save-game to test, as I can't even start the game (with RED) anymore... In fact, I can't even leave it in the "Set-up" screen for more than a few seconds without the game crashing...

This is really killing the whole game for me... Once you've played with RED, the 'normal' version just seems half-arsed by comparison...

when we'll have unit models available for those civs

I'll post a link to v.13/v.14 when back home

try to clear the cache and check file integrity in steam.

 

[Gedemon]

here's the link to v13-v14, but remember to have only one version of R.E.D. Modpack in your mod folder at any time: http://www.mediafire.com/?26xe4zx2f2f4aje

 

[VimesUK]

Can this one be ignored with caution now....


IMPORTANT : when an update of the mod is available, always finish your current game before clicking the update button, as your savegame won't be compatible with the new version.

I know that I have asked this before 15 was released but I would like to check again as it is now actually available.

Thanks for your continuing work

 

[Jonarus_Drakus]

I have re-verified the cache, and re-installed the mod, and pretty much everything else on 'that' list of fixes... (That sounded a little nasty, not intended as such though)

I have DEFINITIVELY narrowed it down to RED. In fact, I've narrowed it down even further... This is only a theory, but There is *some* back-up for it...

I think the problem is with v.13 onwards... Why? Because after getting G&K I start a game with v.11 and it worked fine (wasn't exactly extensive, but still)... "Fine" as it had before G&K anyway...

With that in mind, the *most likely* culprit (to my mind) is the switch from adding Ethnic Varients via 'unique units' to adding them with 'unique art only'.

The only other thing I can think of would be an incompatibility caused by the fact that I run XP and thus only the dx9 version/mode of the game... If your running on a newer dx version, maybe it has managed to sneak something into the mod on a code level that messes up the compatibility for me...

...

Okay, honestly, I'm pretty much just spit-balling at this stage... But I've tried everything *I* can think of AND everything else that has been suggested to me too (If it was suggested to me in this thread, then I've tried it to no -positive- effect).
